Adventures With Bill

Adventures With Bill (Adventures between the ninth and twelfth seasons) is a main segment on The Red Green Show. Next to Handyman Corner, it is the second longest-running segment on the show. It is presented in a grainy, black-and-white format as though recorded on a cheap home camera, usually accompanied by a pleasant song in the background. The segment features a simple plot and action usually in the form of slapstick comedy, narrated by Red as though he's recounting the events of the segment after the fact. Most segments starring Bill usually end up with him in some strange predicament as well as getting hurt even flattened by a wine press in one episode and a steamroller wheel in another, though he always springs back in the next episode. In the first three seasons of the series, Adventures segments starred mainly just Bill Smith and Red Green. Beginning in the fourth season, Harold Green would make occasional appearances in the segment. Beginning in the ninth season, which also saw other Possum Lodge members beginning to make appearances in the segment as well, Bill himself was absent, usually replaced by Walter, although Bill would return in the thirteenth season, though still often accompanied by Walter through the fourteenth season. Additionally, in some cases, Red would be absent as well, though he always narrates every segment. Adventures With Bill is the primary place where Bill exhibits his knack for pulling random things out of his overalls. This segment is also where the Possum Van gets most of its damage.
